Currently, the PSNA is not yet implementing the concept of Non-Observed Economy for the compilation of national accounts;
In practice, the PSNA is generating estimates of unorganized activities and the organized activities;
The unorganized refers to those activities not covered by the establishment surveys;
IIc. Non-Observed Economy
Republic of the Philippines
Philippine Statistics Authority
The unorganized activities includes:
• Underground production activities
• Illegal production
• Unrecorded production due to limitations of existing surveys & administrative data.
Republic of the Philippines
Philippine Statistics Authority
The estimation methodology of unorganized activities:
General Method
Employment
EU = ELFS - EES
where:
EU = employment, unorganized ELFS = employment from the LFS
EES = employment from establishment survey
Republic of the Philippines
Philippine Statistics Authority
PSNA Methodology to Account for the Unorganized Sector:
Output
OU = EU * OPWSE
where:
Ou = output, unorganized
Eu = employment, unorganized
OPWSE= output per worker of small
establishments

1. The contribution of individuals below fifteen years of age is not captured since official figures only cover those at least fifteen years old.
2. Using the number of employed instead of mean hours worked connotes that informal employment is on a full-time basis when in fact some if not most are involved on a part-time basis.
Limitations of Unorganized Estimates:
Republic of the Philippines
Philippine Statistics Authority
Limitations of Unorganized Estimates:
4. Involvement in informal activities as a secondary source of income is not covered.
5. The contribution of self-employed professional is included in the unorganized sector.
6. The assumption that the GVA per worker of small establishments is equal to the GVA per worker of the unorganized sector needs to be revisited.

III. Challenges 1. How to link the enterprise data & establishment data; 2. What is an appropriate method to allocate FISIM to
different users; 3. how to operationalize the concept of goods for
processing in the exports/imports
